VIDEO: Woman Has Epic Temper Tantrum in Apple Store

What do you get when you combine one really pissed off Apple Store customer and a celebrity with a smartphone? Well, that's a recipe for a viral video.

Apple Store Freakout

What do you get when you combine one really pissed off Apple Store customer and a celebrity with a smartphone? Well, that's a recipe for a viral video.

Actress Porscha Coleman, best known for a guest starring role on the UPN series The Parkers, recently witnessed a woman having an epic meltdown at a Los Angeles Apple Store, and did what any other slightly amused person would do – capture it on video, and share it online for the world to enjoy. As you can tell from the video, the unidentified woman appears to be quite agitated over having to wait for something. One question – has she ever been to an Apple Store before?

"I was told by Apple Care that I could walk in the store and get the part," she screams in a high-pitched voice while banging a stroller with her hand, causing nearly everyone in the store to turn and look. The Apple Store employee just nods her head and remains calm throughout the altercation.  

Coleman brilliantly captured the moment with her smartphone and uploaded it to Vine.

"This lady is goin OFF in the Apple Store!! Lol U dont have an appointment, lady! #coolit #chillpill #takesomemeds," the caption reads. The 6-second clip has predictably gone viral.

Let's just hope the woman was having a really bad day and doesn't act like this all the time. Though we don't know her identity, it's fairly safe to say she won't be among the other Apple fans waiting in line for a week to get the next iPhone.

Besides providing a few laughs, the video offers a good reminder that the prying eyes of smartphone cameras are always watching, so you better stay on your best behavior when out in public. If not, you could become the butt of the Internet's next joke.

One more thing – Apple, if you're reading this, give that employee a raise.
